Alan Shearer destroys West Ham United v Kidderminster, takes aim at Alphonse Areola
Alan Shearer was left emptying both barrels on West Ham United after their FA Cup clash against Kidderminster.
The BBC pundit was watching along live at Aggborough and was particularly unimpressed with some of the defending on show.
Alphonse Areola and Issa Diop were singled out for their mistakes as the non-league side took the lead in the opening 45 minutes.
Speaking live on the BBC during half-time, Shearer was not pleased and singled out a couple of names in his stinging criticism.
“West Ham have been atrocious,” he said.
“They haven’t done anything right. Keeper makes a hash of it, Diop also doesn’t get the contact he wants, and then what a finish.”
Atrocious.
Well, this wasn’t one to remember.
David Moyes will be calling the lads into training tomorrow at Rush Green, that is for sure, with a number of their performances simply unacceptable.
We thought we had left behind the days of these scares and upsets, but clearly not, with the home side wanting it more for the majority of the game.
Declan Rice proved that if you got on the front foot and dominated on and off the ball, it would have been a much easier afternoon.
Thankfully, Jarrod Bowen got the winner with basically the last kick in extra time, but that doesn’t make this a good performance.
It’s time to get stuck straight back into training straight away and make sure that these scares happen no longer.
